VALLANCE,
MurrayAllanJr. (1917-2007)
It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our
father, Murray
VALLANCE.
Dad passed away in his home Sunday,
June 17, 2007 with his family by his side. He fought hard to
maintain his dignity and quality of life, but after a year and
a half of failing health due to a heart condition, he succumbed
to his illness. He wanted to pass in his own home with his wife
and children and grand children with him. He took his leave on
his own terms and waited until Fathers day to say goodbye. He
was born in Hamilton, Ontario on March 28, 1917 to Murray Allan
VALLANCE and Phyllis Marie
McINTYRE. He had one brother, Walter
Henry VALLANCE who pre-deceased him on June 16, 2006. He enlisted
in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942 and after the war he
came home and moved to Toronto in 1950. He became a Chartered
Accountant and eventually went to work for Ontario Hydro where
he met his future wife
TheresaO'CONNOR. He is survived by his
wife Theresa, his son Andrew and his daughters Kathleen
BOICE
and Carolyne
McMAHON. He will be fondly remembered and dearly
missed by his brother-in-law Thomas
O'CONNOR, his son-in-laws
Richard BOICE and Quinn
McMAHON and daughter-in-law Rachel
VALLANCE.
Dad has six beautiful grand children, Maria-Rose, Micaela, Amelia,
Saffron, Olivia and Max whom he adored immensely and was very
proud to have had enrich his last years on this earth. Dad loved
classic literature and poetry and we wish to leave this little
poem as a parting thought&hellip
No one knew that day
God was going to call your name
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same
It broke our hearts to lose you
For you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us beautiful memories
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you
You will always be by our sides
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again
Visitation will be held on Friday June 22 at Highland Funeral
Home from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. (3280 Sheppard Ave E., Scarborough,
416-773-0933). Funeral Mass on Saturday June 23 at Holy Spirit

Digby Township -- Summer fun turned to tragedy Monday when a
19-year-old Dalrymple man died while swimming in the northwest
reaches of the City of Kawartha Lakes.
Lucas TINSLEY, who attended Twin Lakes Secondary School in Orillia,
disappeared while swimming with a male friend in a turbulent
section of the Black River at the foot of a waterfall, said City
of Kawartha Lakes Ontario Provincial Police.
Several other family members of the victim were on shore at the
same location, said detachment media relations officer Const. Mark
BOILEAU.
“They were watching, unfortunately,” he said.
Emergency crews were called to the scene northeast of Sebright
around 2: 30 p.m.
Assisted by Carden division firefighters, the Ontario Provincial
Police underwater search and recovery unit scoured a remote area
known as Ragged Rapids along Black River Road, an extremely narrow
dirt road that extends partially into the virtually unpopulated
former Longford Township.
The mishap took place in an unpopulated, protected natural area
that forms part of the 335-square-kilometre Queen Elizabeth II
Wildlands Provincial Park.
Police said they found the young man's body around 8 p.m. in
the same area of the river where he had disappeared. A post-mortem
was scheduled for Tuesday at Lindsay's Ross Memorial Hospital
to determine the cause of death.
The Black River, which runs from Haliburton County to Washago,
is the main tributary of the Severn River. It is managed by Parks
Canada as part of the Trent-Severn Waterway.

BOISSONNEAU,
AliceIrene
(EEDY)
In Guelph, Ontario, December 9, 2007. Novelist, poet, short-story
writer, social worker by training. Born in Walkerton, Ontario,
in 1918, raised in Saint Marys, Ontario, graduated in 1939 from
Victoria College, University of Toronto. Loving wife of the late
Arthur BOISSONNEAU.
Predeceased by her sister, Elizabeth Eedy
Brown FRYE (1997,) and her brother, John W.
EEDY (1996.) Alice
began her adult life as a hospital social worker in Toronto and
Vancouver, and wrote short stories in her spare time. Her work
appeared in the Canadian Forum, Alphabet magazine, Exile: A Literary
Quarterly, and she wrote for the Anthology series on Canadian
Broadcasting Corporation Radio. During her life with Arthur,
a specialist in forestry, Alice took to writing in an isolated
trailer in the northern Ontario woods, in the "clement" months.
Her publications included two novels, Eileen McCullough (1976),
shortlisted in 1977 for the W.H. Smith/Books in Canada First
Novel Award, and A Sudden Brightness (1994); and a short story,
"The McCrimmons", in Stories from Ontario (Germaine Warkentin,
ed., 1974). In 1992, she published There Will Be Gardens, a poignant
memoir of life in Toronto. A Globe and Mail review at the time
described this latter book as mining both the grace, and the
"sour, sad stillness" of pre-"world-class" Toronto, in a "long,
hypnotic chant…to great literary effect". Her family remembers
her as a wonderful cook, who loved music, and encouraged Arthur's
recorder group; in her young life, Alice sang folk songs and
arias, seated at the piano with her mother. Alice leaves her
sisters-in-law, Dorothy
EEDY of Saint Marys and Marie
MILLER of
Woodbridge; her godson, Sy
BENSON of Brantford, and her friend
Kelli ARPPE of Guelph; and many nieces and nephews, and great
nieces and nephews, in communities throughout Canada; and in
Hong Kong, China, and London, England. A gathering for family
and Friends will take place at 1: 00 p.m. on January 12, 2008,
at 54 Paisley Street in Guelph. For further information, please

flowers, kindly consider a donation to Amnesty International
Canada, or Oxfam Canada.
